Stillwell terminal in Coney Island is the second epicenter of the system after Broadway Junction   Both of these have seen many changes over the years  Here are a few that I noticed while looking at some old picture of Stillwell

 

The double slip switches are gone and the track has been reconfiguered here

The West End tracks used to connect on the South side to the Culver ( Funny its the North side of the Culver ) The West End ends at bumper blocks now

Stillwell ave has always been an exciting and busy place. With 8 tracks and 4 platforms it is probably the largest station on the original BMT system with Sands Street being the location to surpass it in size. 

 

BMY standards could be seen here operating on all lines that went through here at various times. Here is a Culver local when it was a BMT line operating via the Montague street tunnel

Occassionally various equipment which did not operate in and out of Stillwell did show up on special occasions. Here we have the Bluebirds at Stillwell.
